Given a 2-manifold, a fundamental question to ask is which groups can be realized as the isometry group of a Riemannan metric of constant curvature on the manifold. In this paper, we give a nearly complete classification of such groups for…

First, we show that a warped product of a line and a fiber manifold is weakly conformally flat and quasi Einstein if and only if the fiber is Einstein. Next, we characterize and classify contact (in particular, $K$-contact) Riemannian…

We introduce a geometric property complementary-finite asymptotic dimension (coas- dim). Similar with asymptotic dimension, we prove the corresponding coarse invariant theorem, union theorem and Hurewicz-type theorem.

In this article we extend several foundational results of the theory of complete minimal surfaces of finite index in the Euclidean space to minimal surfaces in asymptotically flat manifolds and, more generally, to marginally outer-trapped…

The second H. Weyl curvature invariant of a Riemannian manifold, denoted $h_4$, is the second curvature invariant which appears in the well known tube formula of H. Weyl. It coincides with the Gauss-Bonnet integrand in dimension 4. A…

Asymptotic symmetries of AdS$_4$ quantum gravity and gauge theory are derived by coupling the dual CFT$_3$ to Chern-Simons gauge theory and 3D gravity in a "probe" large-level limit. The infinite-dimensional symmetries are shown to arise…

A cusp-decomposable manifold is a manifold constructed from a finite number of complete, negatively curved, finite volume manifolds and identifying the boundaries of truncated cusps by diffeomorphisms. Using properties of the electric space…

We show that a combination of collapsing and excessive growth from the fundamental group impedes the existence of Einstein metrics on several families of smooth four-manifolds. These include infrasolvmanifolds whose fundamental group is not…

This paper is devoted to the first systematic investigation of manifolds that are Einstein for a connection with skew symmetric torsion. We derive the Einstein equation from a variational principle and prove that, for parallel torsion, any…
